v = a*Ns+b
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Average Velocity in Vertical - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Average Velocity in Vertical is the rate at which the water flows in any stream or water body.
Constant a - Constant a as an adjective may refer to non-variance; as a noun, it has two different meanings: A fixed and well-defined number or other non-varying mathematical object.
Revolutions per Second of Meter - Revolutions Per Second of Meter placed at the Instrument Station.
Constant b - Constant b as an adjective may refer to non-variance; as a noun, it has two different meanings: A fixed and well-defined number or other non-varying mathematical object.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Constant a: 0.6 --> No Conversion Required
Revolutions per Second of Meter: 33 --> No Conversion Required
Constant b: 0.8 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

v = a*Ns+b --> 0.6*33+0.8

Evaluating ... ...

What is Stream Velocity?

Stream Velocity is important because of its impact on water quality and on the living organisms and habitats in the stream. Stream Velocity increases as the volume of the water in the stream increases, determines the kinds of organisms that can live in the stream (some need fast-flowing areas; others need quiet pools).

How to Calculate Stream Velocity at Instrument Location?

Stream Velocity at Instrument Location calculator uses Average Velocity in Vertical = Constant a*Revolutions per Second of Meter+Constant b to calculate the Average Velocity in Vertical, The Stream Velocity at Instrument Location formula is defined as the speed of the water in the stream, and it is the greatest in midstream near the surface and is slowest along the stream bed and banks due to friction. Average Velocity in Vertical is denoted by v symbol.

How to calculate Stream Velocity at Instrument Location using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Stream Velocity at Instrument Location, enter Constant a (a), Revolutions per Second of Meter (Ns) & Constant b (b) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Stream Velocity at Instrument Location calculation can be explained with given input values -> 20.6 = 0.6*33+0.8.

FAQ

What is Stream Velocity at Instrument Location?

The Stream Velocity at Instrument Location formula is defined as the speed of the water in the stream, and it is the greatest in midstream near the surface and is slowest along the stream bed and banks due to friction and is represented as v = a*Ns+b or Average Velocity in Vertical = Constant a*Revolutions per Second of Meter+Constant b. Constant a as an adjective may refer to non-variance; as a noun, it has two different meanings: A fixed and well-defined number or other non-varying mathematical object, Revolutions Per Second of Meter placed at the Instrument Station & Constant b as an adjective may refer to non-variance; as a noun, it has two different meanings: A fixed and well-defined number or other non-varying mathematical object.

How to calculate Stream Velocity at Instrument Location?

The Stream Velocity at Instrument Location formula is defined as the speed of the water in the stream, and it is the greatest in midstream near the surface and is slowest along the stream bed and banks due to friction is calculated using Average Velocity in Vertical = Constant a*Revolutions per Second of Meter+Constant b. To calculate Stream Velocity at Instrument Location, you need Constant a (a), Revolutions per Second of Meter (Ns) & Constant b (b). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Constant a, Revolutions per Second of Meter & Constant b and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Average Velocity in Vertical?

In this formula, Average Velocity in Vertical uses Constant a, Revolutions per Second of Meter & Constant b. We can use 3 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Average Velocity in Vertical = 5.75*Shear Velocity*log10(30*Height above Bed/Equivalent Sand-Grain Roughness)
Average Velocity in Vertical = (Velocity at 0.2 Times Depth of Flow+Velocity at 0.8 Times Depth of Flow)/2
Average Velocity in Vertical = Reduction Factor*Surface Velocity of River
